Halloween GRWM: Becoming Mia Wallace

Image
Hey you, happy Halloween! I've never gone all out for Halloween before - I've been a cat for about seven years now - but this year, I decided to do something a little bit more adventurous. And by more adventurous, I mean don a wig. This year's costume choice was a close toss up between Ariana Grande (mostly because I wanted an excuse to get a ponytail extension) and Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction. I decided to go for the latter. Mia's look is so easy to recreate but looks pretty effective, even if I do say so myself. I love Pulp Fiction, and transforming into Mia has been a lot of fun. So, if you're looking for some last minute costume inspo, or wanted to see how I got Halloween ready in about 15 minutes, you've come to the right place (*plays Uma Thurman by Fall Out Boy for the rest of the day*).  makeup If you don't want to slap much makeup on your face this Halloween, Mia Wallace is probably one of the best costume ideas for you. She has such ...

Trench: The Least-Best to the Mega Incredible

I feel like everything I've written lately has been about twenty one pilots. I'm gonna apologise to my lecturers now, as one of my assessed blog posts was analysing their main promotional photo, and I'm pitching a feature idea right now about pop punk/emo in 2018. Also, s/o to all my friends that have had to put up with me slipping their new album into every single conversation, you guys are troopers. But why stop now? Their new album, Trench, was finally released last Friday, and I just can't get enough of it. It's easily my favourite album of the year - not that I expected anything less from a band I've been head over heels for for years. But today, ladies and gentlemen, I'll be ranking all 14 songs from the album, starting with the least best to the gosh darn amazing. So let's get started:  14. SMITHEREENS  I want to start by saying that there isn't a song on Trench I don't really, really like. But if we're ranking them, I...

High Street Picks for A/W18

Even though shooting these pictures today made me feel like I was back in Lanzarote snapping pics for my last post, I'm pretty sure the best time of the year is upon us now. Autumn is just such a delight. The crackle of the falling leaves under a heavy Doc Marten boot, snuggling up under thousands of blankets writing blog posts in the glow of fairy lights, and CHUNKY KNITTED JUMPERS. Can I get a hell yeah? Mostly, it's that last point - or just Autumn/Winter fashion in general - that makes this my favourite time of year. I love the khakis and the burgundys and deep purples that pop up in our shops and convince me to spend lots of money. I've already splashed some cash this season, and alongside some beloved bits from years gone by, I've come up with my perfect Autumn/Winter wardrobe. Here are my highlights: So even though Autumn is out and about, I still think t-shirts are an essential piece for round about now. Our weather here in the UK is a little bit unp...
